NT Government’s ‘unacceptable’ Don Dale backflip fails young people and community

Law reform and public affairs

The Law Society of the Northern Territory and Law Council of Australia have today called on the Gunner government to honour its commitment to replace the Don Dale Youth Detention Centre with a new purpose-built facility as a matter of urgency.

The Royal Commission into the Protection and Detention of Children in the Territory, released in November 2017, recommended Don Dale be closed and replaced to protect the safety and rights of children in detention.

The NT Government promised to implement all 227 Royal Commission recommendations, however, a year on Don Dale remains.

A full copy of the media release is available here.
